FYI: You can now add modules to Kerbals

[Guest]

You used to have to use a mod separate from Module Manager, but now there's a global config file for both male and female kerbals:

(GameData/Squad/Parts/Prebuilt)

All you have to do to edit them using Module Manager is use their part id: kerbalEVA, and kerbalEVAfemale.  They've also done the same with the flag.

Now i saw those arrive during pre and wondered what they were for.  Thanks will come in very handy for BD FPS

Yeah, I was digging around the Squad folder while working on my Water Expansion mod, and figured I'd give it a try.  It makes it a lot easier to have Kerbals suffer the same effects as parts do with my new water physics.

This was already mentioned in the modders notes and the changelog..  I'm surprised that people are surprised.
What's to explain? These three parts used to be internal KSP prefabs that could only be modified if you wrote some code to do it.
Now they are cfg files like all the other parts. So get Module Manager out and modify them if you require. (Which I have done for TAC LS to add life support resources, etc to them).

Nothing to do  with those cfg's but much to do with the water physics, OK?

OH i see. Sorry, I read the OP topic and thought this was about "FYI: You can now add modules to Kerbals" not about water physics.

Well, I wasn't aware of that being mentioned.  Besides, it's good to point out to others that weren't aware.  This is after all a forum in which we help others.
